I Swear, There Are No “Orange” Puns In This Post

ORANGE YOU GLAD? Hahahahaha. Ok, stop. I apologize.

I decided not to get a haircut and to just let my hair grow out. Blogwise, I’d like to believe that I’m making the right choice by giving myself the benefit of endless styling possibilities. On the other hand, I’ll just be another blogger with long straightuncombed hair- but then again, I’d be a blogger with long hair I can use to cover my armpits when I’m in sleeveless tops. AHA! Silver lining, I believe I have found you! [I crack myself up sometimes]

One more rant about my hair problems and I promise, this’ll be the end of it

 
I NEED TO FIX THIS ANNOYING STRAND- it’s always finding its way into my outfit posts. So annoying.. grrr!
On a not-hair-related-note, there’s an interesting story behind my top. Wearing it made me feel so much like a kite and crazy as I am, I spent most of my day running around the office with my arms stretched out pretending to be one! I know I’m too fond of wearing white, even for my own good, but owning pretty tops like this with pretty details makes me feel like a million bucks. Plus, I had a good reason to run around the office which was great (the main reason why I love it)! And not to mention, the cut made me wish I was at the beach- I should’ve considered that before coming in to work.
 
BTW, How’s everyone doing with the SIN TAX bill coming into full blow? I know it’s for a good cause and my lungs will thank the government in the future but I started the week with 10 perfectly shaped nails and by Wednesday, I’ve already bit through 7 of them. Running around the office isn’t something I’m accustomed to, I promise, but it’s better than me battling how many sticks I have to cut in order to eventually quit. TO QUITTING! (I don’t know how many times I’ve said this in my lifetime)

Of Flowers, Being Girly and Trying To Find My Place

Take a good hard look at me, I’m a girl AFTERALL, I swear! Har. Is it hard to believe?

Interesting turn of events which led to me deciding to go all out FLOWER TO THE HIGHEST POWER on this day. Initially, I started out with a long black skirt and an over sized sweater but later on decided that I would ditch the hobo boy and go head on girl.

Eventually I decided to be experimental and give print-on-print a much deserved try. I was terrified that I would over-do it or that I would look stupid but, mostly because I couldn’t get the zipper of these pants to close. -.- WORE THEM ANYWAYS! I AM BADASS OR WHAT? Lol

Perfect example of my fashion insanity. Case closed.

See, I couldn’t even take a decent picture of myself. I look constipated in each one. My body is not used to so much girly-ness. But change is always good and experiment

Even the buttons on the jacket are flowers. Goodness.

What do you think of my floral ensemble?

Took the day off from work cuz my Mitral Valve Prolapse was acting up again and I was having a bad headache. Luckily, it was raining and I’ve been dying to take my leg warmers out again. So, what do you do when you’re home and sick and it’s raining outside? HAVE A BEDROOM SHOOT. Of course, I used my laptop camera cuz I’m low tech like that.

Hello, from my feet and my legwarmers that I wasn’t wearing properly. lol

I swear I was born on the wrong side of the earth. I need snow!

First and foremost, let us all take a moment of silence to grieve over the loss of my favorite shades. (sniff*sniff) Shortly after this picture was taken, it took a dive out of my hands and well, wearing it is now completely out of the question. But, I must give it due credit, they have served me well in the past year considering that I got them for only P85.00 downtown. I love Cebu!

Fashion Feature: Bree Esplanada

I like Bree, I like Bree a lot. Probably not as much as he loves blood and ripped flesh from Zombie Movies but, I like him enough to make him my very first featured fashion designer- another thing I like, designing. My adoration for Bree began even when I first heard about him in April 2011 as a contestant for Cebu Young Deisgners Competition (where he bagged 4th place) and fast forward to 2013, I like him even more- Francisco Lachoski, Darren Criss , Rami Malek, and Bruno Mars ogling aside. (I only know who Bruno Mars is! haha)

Salmon Skin Roll

I think it’s important for many of you to know that I work for a big tech company during the day and I turn into a full-time girlfriend; sister; daughter; friend or whatever’s up for that day by night- 7:30 pm to be exact. So you’ll be seeing me transition from heels to flats (never sandals) and in lots and lots of corporate or what my job likes to call “business casual” attires. I’ve also become a fan of blazers, cardigans and sweaters as well because it tends to get really cold in the office so you can expect to find a lot of these here. And yes, I abuse my cover ups and I can on for weeks wearing the same thing (in case any of you are against outfit repeating)! One piece I’ve been wearing over and over again is this gold cardigan:
